I haven't done a new band love post in a while, so here go two bands (many more to come):

Heroes and Sheroes was released in April, and still I've managed to miss this band despite some serious blog-love they have going on. No more. Think indie pop and you've got them pegged.
Buy stuff (iTunes, their website)

I posted a track from their 2005 release, Let Me Come Home, a few weeks ago without realizing that they released a new self-titled album in April and are touring with the Format! Limbeck = folk rock, alt country - whatever you choose to call it.
Buy Limbeck (on iTunes or from Doghouse Records)

Some important (Limbeck) tour dates:
8/25 Washington, DC @ 9:30 Club
8/29 Cleveland, OH @ The Agora Theatre
(More tour dates at Limbeck's website)
(download the Format's live set on the Interface)
In the meanwhile, The Lone Microphone has a review of the Ryan Adams' show in Detroit and eMusic has a FREE Pitchfork Music Festival sampler.
Labels: artist profile, band dump, Country, Eames Era, festival, Limbeck, pop
i feel indie pop as something has to be sweet and pretty, when i listen to eames era and similar artists. it is nice.
